ORIGINS OF LEON (ROMAN LEON)


THE ROUTE

Travel back in time and travel with our specialised guide to the Roman past of the city, which owes its beginnings to the ancient camp of the Legio VI Victrix, back in 10 B.C. and which later, the Legio VII Gemina, established as a permanent camp until the fall of the Roman Empire. 

Do you know who Corocota or Pintaius was, how Ludus Latrunculorum was played, what is commemorated in the "Birth of the Eagle"? Why was the wall painted?  

What role did Publius Carisius or Marcus Ulpius Trajan play in the origins of Leon? 

Come and discover it with Caminosdeleon. 

Hail Caesar, those who are about to come greet you
